For example someone buying a GTX216 in the last 3- 4 weeks or even a 280 probably did research the matter but bought anyway as the GTX270/290 still looked like a rumor until a few days ago-now they seem to be very close to release by the look of it.
its hard to say when they will be released (270 / 290), thats nVidia and "Capitalism" at its finest....it was only a few months ago I purchased a 260 (192 Core) and within 3 days the 260 (216) Core was out!! Even with my diligent reserching it slipped past me...anyhow, sent the 260 back to DC (payed the "open box" restocking fee and went with a 280)...which was what I really wanted in the 1st place!
thier were a lot of folks who "couldn't wait" and had to have that 9800GX2 to replace thier 8800 Ultra / GTX and BOOM..not a few months later new GTX 2 Series are out...
You gotta love it...!
